Summary edit

Description
English: The Statler Center, 1160 Main Street, Buffalo, New York, September 2020. Unsurprisingly given its appearance, the building that houses the Elizabeth Pierce Olmsted Center for Sight's hospitality career training program for visually impaired individuals used to be a private residence, and here the Queen Anne style that was so popular at the time of its construction (1890) shines through in elegant simplicity. Faced in painted brick, the bottom two floors feature a bay window on the right and stone lintels crowning the other windows, while the more interesting attic story boasts a shingle-faced, pedimented front gable at right with a deeply recessed Palladian window, as well as a gabled dormer at left with elaborate foliated relief carvings. Its original owner, John Coon (1845-1898), was the co-founder of the Lake Erie Boiler Works, a manufacturer not only of the namesake item but also iron tanks, gas holders, and other heavy plate-metal goods; he lived there until his death, and his widow and son continued as residents until 1905. The Olmsted Center purchased the house in 1999.
